We are loyal fans of this resort. Many new units, beautiful landscaping, and recreation amenities have been completed in the recent few years. We love the heated indoor pool and the beautiful adjoining outdoor pool. The mini golf is beautiful as well as the picnic and barbecue area! There is so much to do in this area. The shows and aquarium are outstanding!. We were there over Mother's Day and my grown son and my husband accompanied me for a ride on the beautiful temperature controlled , enclosed boxes of the gigantic Sky Wheel ( a VERY large ferris wheel with a spectacular view of the ocean and up and down the seacost! ) A trip to Pawley's Island and the Hammock shops was another treat. The BEST seafood I ever ate was in a small fishing village about an hr. south, off Rt. 17, called T.W. Graham on Pinckney St. in McClellanville. What a quaint anti-bellum type fishing village, the real "old South" serving low country authentic food! We wandered back in the country toward Conway and experienced a local country auction! We have our favorite spots to stop and re-visit every time we come!

We really liked this place. Obviously things have changed since reviews dated 2007. Everything was well cared for, activities were interesting, the indoor pool and whirlpool were perfect temperature (not freezing and boiling like many places), the little deli had great sandwiches at reasonable price, and nearby (driving distances) restaurants are reasonable, and plentiful. We used their freebie entrance to state parks, and hiked a lot. This would be a great place for golfing--driving range and putting greens as well as 18 hole course, and the units were generous size. To our surprise we like this better than many places we've stayed in the north end of town.

We have stayed here twice and each time was a delight. The staff is
friendly and they have a large jacuzzi that's to die for. The indoor pool is
large and the outdoor pool is very adequate. We like to vacation in
September as the kids are back in school and the beaches are sparsley
populated. The occupants have free access to the state park beaches and
you can walk for miles. Many fine restaurants are within easy driving
distance and a large hospital is within walking distance. For the golfer it is
heaven with many courses available in the area. We really love this place.

I visited the resort Christmas week. Upon
checking in the areas of interest were not
mentioned. I had a two bedroom unit and
checked in on a Sat. The second bedroom
had stains on the carpet, a chair was missing
in the dining area and one was broken, dishes
were missing from the cupboard. I called front
desk and was told it would be addressed and
it never was. Not enough activities for the
children. I would not visit again.

We had the worst possible vacation. We
arrived on a Friday and the place was dirty,
there were cockroaches, the walls were
smeared, the bathroom was scary. If possible,
no not check in on a Friday, those are the
worst buildings we found out. Everyone we
ran into had problems.

I have stayed at this resort 4 times already.
The resort workers have been very friendly
each and every time. They even got us
reservations on a days notice. I see that they
are growing. We rented bikes and took a
stroll through the grounds and a nearby
neighborhood. It is located in a peaceful area
of Murrells Inlet. My family and I are going to
plan a vacation here every year. Thank you
Ellington.

We stayed here the 4th of July week. When I
made the reservations, I was informed that there
would be a king in the master and a queen in the
2nd bedroom. Imagine our surprise when we
arrived and found 2 twin beds. Management was
kind enough to push the beds together even tho
it wasn't the most ideal situation for the
couple with us. We were told the units do not
have queen beds, either king or 2 twins.

The accomodations, however, were great. The
staff was always friendly. Housekeeping came
every day which was a surprise also.

Overall, we would stay here again but would be
prepared for the accomodations.

We stayed here in the middle of October,
2004. If you're not a golfer there is nothing to
do here.

The units and grounds look lovely and the
pool looks inviting, but as those who jumped
in found out it isn't heated. We could tell by
the whoops when someone tried the pool for
the first time. Even the kids refused to swim
in it and as a result you never got to sit
around and meet your neighbours.

There were 4 buildings with 16 units in each
building with a 5th being built at the time we
were there. 8 units face in toward the pool
and 8 face out onto nothing. Of the 8 units on
each side 4 are 2 bedroom units and 4 are 1
bedroom units. The 2 and 1 bedroom units
have a common door which will allow them to
become a 3 bedroom unit.

The evening we arrived we had been awake
for 18 hours and at 9:00 we went to bed. The
people in the next unit arrived in around 10
PM and were so loud that they awoke us.
One fellow had to yell at all the others and
around 10:30 decided to try and enter our
unit through the connecting door. We had
just fallen back to sleep when that happened
so I let a yell out of me which settled him
down and we were able to go to sleep. About
6:00 the next morning the 'yeller' was at it
again and woke us up before they went
golfing. After breakfast we went to the
reception area and told our tale of woe. They
moved us to another unit right away and
apologized profusely.

The units are very well furnished and have all
the amenities you would want, but you can
hear every word that is spoken by the
adjoining unit's occupants. You could not hear
the voices of the occupants in the unit that
backed on to your unit, but could tell every
time they opened or closed a kitchen
cupboard.

The club house is very nice and they serve a
breakfast and lunch, but in the evening you
can only get a snack.

Restaurants are not within walking distance,
but are plentiful and for prairie dwellers the
seafood was fresh and we never found one
we didn't enjoy and wouldn't return to.

The golf course was well looked after, but the
lack of a GPS on the carts was a bit of a
disappointment.
